Oh, I agree 100%! But by the same token, I always try to correct factual

errors whenever possible, especially in terms of LP's and/or people with

disabilities. So, any information regarding this issue would be appreciated!

Whoa!

I guess I should have made myself more clear.

Firstly, *I* am an LP. I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta type III/IV.

Second, I am asking for **general** information. I do not want, nor do I

expect, any male in this group to whip out a tape measure.

Third, the comment I quoted from the message that was posted in another

group I am a member of (neither of which the group OR the topic being

discussed had anything to do with LP's), which prompted my post HERE,

was made by an AP *male*.

I would be perfectly happy if someone could provide me with a link to a

**medical** site which has this information. I have done quite a bit of

searching on my own, and thus far, have only found this topic mentioned

in terms of *comments,* not from websites which I would consider sources

of reliable information.

Comments such as the one I quoted from the other group are often based

on erroneous information/stereotypes. While the person who made the

comment did go on to say (paraphrasing here) there are other ways to

satisfy a woman regardless of size, IF the person who made the comment

was incorrect in his assumption that small man ALWAYS = small " boy

parts, " I would like to correct it.

It would be no different if someone said " Of course, dwarf women have

small busts! " Many women (if not most) are JUST as sensitive about that

issue as men are regarding the question I asked. I am small-busted. Of

course, that has NOTHING to do with the fact that I'm an LP...ALL the

women in my family are small-busted. Since busts aren't easily

concealed, I would not need to ask anyone in the LP community if dwarf

women *generally* have small busts - I know that isn't true just based

on casual observation - the range of bust size among LP women seems to

be the same as the range of bust size amongst AP women. Therefore, if an

AP said " Dwarf women have small busts, " I would correct them immediately.

Lastly, I have no need/desire at this time to do any " private research. "

I'm involved. Furthermore, even if I weren't, I would never consider

*using* another human being - LP *or* AP - for that (or any other) purpose.

Hello all,

Here is my " delicate " as possible answer:

Each type of dwarfism is caused by a specific type of gene that effects

different parts of the body. 

It seems from my visual observations at many conferences, as well as my own

person, that not everything on a person's body is effected by dwarfism, whether

it be a person's personal parts to something like teeth for example.  I have a

dwarfism, I'm only 3'3 but my teeth are the same size as an average height

person (my dentist told me I have a big mouth!   )

As far as my internal organs like stomach, heart, kidneys, etc, I've personally

never been told they are smaller than an average height person when I've visted

my doctor. 

Clothing wise, even though I'm a dwarf, I can in no way wear kids clothes as my

body is not built like a child's.  I wear women's tops and shirts and women's

pants and shorts, and I would even if I were at my prime weight.  This is not

true though for some other types of dwarfisms based on the build of a body

having to do with their specific type of dwarfism.

Unfortunately people like to make assumptions or joke about such things solely

out of ignorance, because, as I've always said, dwarfism seems to be the last

disability it's okay to make fun of. 

The only blanket statement I can make about dwarfism is, aside from the fact

were short, you can't make a blanket statement about dwarfism.
